why pendrive properties shows 14.5GB insted of 16GB


In the above picture, the pen drive is 16GB but it show only 14.5GB.
Actually,
1GB=1024MB

But flash dive companies multiply the MB by 1000 instead of 1024.
1MB=1000bytes
1GB=1000000bytes 
i.e.16GB=16000000bytes( Actually 16GB= 16777216bytes)

So, 16GB =14.5GB (Multiplyed by 1000) which should be multiplyed by 1024.
